Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area, 39(2), 282–297. doi:10.1075/ltba.39.2.03lap | Journal: | Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area | Abstract: | There have been challenges to the received view of the structure of the Sino-Tibetan language family. This is all well and good, as we should constantly challenge our most basic assumptions. In this paper I look at the arguments presented with a view to convincing us to change our conception of Sino-Tibetan and to change the name of the family to “Trans-Himalayan”, and find them less than convincing, due to problems of fact and argumentation. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/145505 | ISSN: | 0731-3500 | DOI: | 10.1075/ltba.39.2.03lap | Schools: | School of Humanities | Rights: | © 2016 John Benjamins Publishing Company.
